Homework Policy  

Homework is a necessary part of each pupil's educational program. Each student may be expected to spend some time in home study in addition to scheduled class instruction to achieve satisfactory work.

Some assignments may be long range in nature and require planned time for their completion. Students should be certain they understand the assignment when the teacher gives it and do their best to complete the task.

When they have trouble they should seek help from parents or siblings. If students continue to struggle, please notify the teacher. If students have finished their homework, or were not given any specific assignments, it is recommended that they read or practice math facts in order to improve their skills.

General homework time for fifth grade is 50 - 60 minutes per night. Our faculty strongly urges each student to read every night independently with an adult and/or write in a journal.
